Crown Prince of the Empire, I quit!

"There will be a lot of resources outside the Beiguan battlefield."

Qin Ming knew what Chen Shimao meant. The Central Plains and the South were already filled with factories, carrying the interests of too many people and families.

They don't even have enough to share in their own interests. Not only the local market, but also the countries in Southeast Asia, the southern barbarians, the Western Regions and other places have been occupied by them.

Only then can the products and profits be maintained to the current level.

Therefore, it would be impossible to give too much to these royal nobles even if it was divided further.

But since the advent of the age of firearms, the northern tribes were pushed back.

Large tracts of land were left vacant in the north, and land represents resources and benefits.

Now is the time to enclose land, but unfortunately, developing these lands requires endless silver.

It is impossible for Emperor Qian at the moment.

Only Qin Ming, after taking over this place, was able to develop it and make Daqian a country with a territory larger than that of the Yan Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, these places cannot be given to them. Aside from some mature industries, these lands must not be handed over to the military."

Chen Shimao frowned slightly and immediately spoke to remind Qin Ming.

Qin Ming made his fortune by relying on land and army.

Now, in order to win the war, we must allow the Northern Dynasty’s troops to obtain land and resources.

This is undoubtedly raising a tiger to harm oneself.

"This is a nuisance."

Qin Ming also understood the problem Chen Shimao was talking about.

It was impossible for him to solve this kind of thing so easily, and Emperor Qian would not give him this opportunity.

"Teacher, is there really no other way?"

"There is a way."

Chen Shimao pondered for a moment and slowly said three words.

"Ye Shoujiang."

Ye Shoujiang is a highly respected figure in the army.

Now everyone in the world wants to submit to Qin Ming. If he can be asked to persuade them to surrender, maybe it will really move those people.

"If it's General Ye...I'm afraid we'll have to fight for a while."

"After we have annihilated the Yan Dynasty troops and the Northern Dynasty troops are feeling timid, we can send him there. It will surely be very effective."

After Qin Ming and Chen Shimao finished their discussion, they picked up their pens and wrote a letter.

Arrange for someone to go to Jiangnan and have them take a speedboat to deliver the letter to Ye Shoujiang, who was far away in Yan Dynasty and destroyed their firearms workshop.

After staying in Luocheng for another three days, Qin Ming reorganized the rear and stabilized it.

He dispatched 30,000 soldiers to the Central Plains battlefield.

Chen Pi and Wu Qingye, who had been arranged by Qin Ming to be on the Xishan battlefield, also received his orders.

Let the entire army stay there and not engage in battle with the imperial troops.

The two of them led a group of people back to the Central Plains front to fight.

Now the battle line between the two sides is very long.

The Taiping Mountains in the northwest of the Central Plains are connected to the Qinchuan Mountains in the south of the Western Hills, and there is even a tendency to expand towards the Henglian Mountains in the Western Regions.

Yan Guangshou was a smart man. Despite his strong military force, he did not choose to fight a decisive battle with Qin Ming on the plains between the Central Plains and the capital.

Instead, they set their sights on the Taiping Mountains in the northwest of the Central Plains, attempting to connect it with the Qinchuan Mountains in the south of the Western Hills.

In this way, they can form an alliance and launch attacks on Qin Ming from several directions.

After arriving at the outskirts of Taiping Mountains, Qin Ming discussed with everyone and understood the current situation.

"Yan Guangshou wants to use the mountains to restrict our firearms. The Taiping Mountains are layered, making it inconvenient to transport gunpowder and firearms."

Food and fodder are a must. Apart from these, there are many other factors that need to be considered if they want to fight in the vast Taiping Mountains.

For example, the use of firearms.

They used up their bullets very quickly, and after a few rounds of fighting, they could only fight hand-to-hand.

In addition, Qin Ming had relatively few people, and if they met them in the mountains, they would definitely lose more than they won.

Yan Guangshou's move was very shameless, forcing Qin Ming to go into the mountains and fight them.

If Qin Ming had not entered the mountains, the Yan army would have gained money no matter how many people died crossing the Taiping Mountains.

Because at that time, they will directly enter the southern hinterland of the Central Plains!

Qin Ming’s basic industrial construction will be completely destroyed by them!

"Wu Qingye, come with me to explore the way."

Just understanding the situation is not enough.

War requires the right time, place and people. Except for the right time, the other two can be won by oneself.

As the head coach, Qin Ming had to go to the battlefield in person to know what kind of environment they would face.

"I understand, but your majesty, there is miasma inside, so please hold this in your mouth."

As he spoke, Wu Qingye opened a porcelain bottle in his hand, poured out a purple hard pill and handed it to Qin Ming.

"There's no rush yet."

Qin Ming did not take it directly. After putting it away, he took Wu Qingye and entered from the outskirts of the mountains.

The Taiping Mountains are full of peaks and ridges. After climbing to the top of a mountain, you will not feel like you are at the highest level when you look around. There are only endless peaks blocking your view.

Looking at the thick miasma below, Qin Ming said to Wu Qingye:

"I'll go down and try. You take the poison-repelling medicine and follow me. I'll tell you when I can't hold on any longer."

Because there is a strong miasma in the Taiping Mountains.

Over the years, many woodcutters who went up the mountain to chop wood and hunters who went hunting have summed up some ways to resist miasma.

Just like the anti-poison pills that Qin Ming and his team have now, the recipe was obtained from the people living nearby, and was improved by some pharmacists under Qin Ming.

"Your Majesty, you are worth a fortune. If you want to test this miasma, you can let us do it."

Wu Qingye was startled.

Although he has become emperor, Qin Ming's behavior is not much different from before.

Even this kind of miasma has to be tried personally.

"How can you know the effects of these miasmas without firsthand experience?"

Only after trying this kind of thing yourself can you know the intensity of the poisonous miasma in the mountains.

In order to lead the troops, Qin Ming had to go down in person.

Seeing how determined he was, Wu Qingye could only sigh.

"When you can't hold on any longer, you must take that medicine."

"understood."

Soon, everyone went down the mountain together and walked towards the miasma.

Many mountains in this era are undeveloped and sparsely populated areas.

Over the years, extremely dense miasma has accumulated in the undisturbed mountains.

As they walked down the mountain, the light in the sky had been obscured and visibility was greatly reduced.

"Your Majesty, can you hold on?"

Along the way, Wu Qingye kept asking about Qin Ming's situation.

"no problem."

Qin Ming frowned. After walking for less than half an hour, his body had already started to react.

Negative feelings such as fatigue, nausea, high fever and chills were constantly eroding his body.

If the miasma stays in the body for too long, mental confusion is likely to follow.

After walking for another half an hour, Qin Ming's eyes began to become bloodshot.

The miasma around them was so thick that it could not be dispelled, and visibility continued to decrease. Everyone could only grope forward hand in hand.

Even after taking the antidote, many soldiers began to show mild symptoms.

At this moment, Qin Ming suddenly felt dizzy...

"His Majesty……!"
